Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)

Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 52 :: Hadith 120

Narrated ('Abdullah) bin 'Umar:

The Prophet arranged for a horse race amongst the horses that
had been made lean to take place between Al-Hafya'' and Thaniyat
Al-Wada' (i.e. names of two places) and the horses which had not
been mad.? lean from Ath-Thaniyat to the mosque of Bani Zuraiq. I
was also amongst those who took part in that horse race. Sufyan, a
sub-narrator, said, "The distance between Al-Hafya and Thaniya
Al-Wada' is five or six miles; and between Thaniya and the mosque
of Bani Zuraiq is one mile."
